The script won't show everyone the DB credentials. The script simply assigns the variables. Nothing more.

Why not put the server URL into AdminSettings.php where all the other maintenance script info goes? No sense using LocalSettings.php for nothing.

Say, can I put the AdminSettings contents into LocalSettings and thus not need to maintain an extra file?
AdminSettings.php is a standalone file that contains very little. LocalSettings.php is part of a larger program (the whole wiki) and is dependent on other files.
Running a maintenance script does not require running the wiki.
Two different things, two different files.
BTW - since AdminSettings.php contains the DB user and password, it's not a bad idea to keep it hidden unless it's actually required. Rename it, move it to another directory, whatever - just don't leave it exposed to the web.
